Revealed: 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer (Updated - Interior pics)

Quote:

Yeehee. Here are fresh images of the 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer, set to debut next year at the Detroit auto show. The Lancer will come with a 152-horsepower 2.0-Liter 4-cylinder engine, which has a 5-speed manual transmission. There will be 3 trim levels offered: the DE, ES and the GTS.

It looks okay, I guess, but I wish it was more like the Concept-X. I’m not liking the rear end, I guess it’s due to the fact that it squeezes the taillights. Anyways, continue reading for all the pictures.

more images: here and from here

Looks a bit [insert awkward adjective here]

This Lancer and Mazda 3 look fantastic, styling does indeed sell.
Bland as well (Corolla) and ugly (Civic) sells too though

The EVO is going to be SICK!!!

I think anything is an improvement over the current Lancer looks. This is a much need step in the right direction. Volvo and Acura TL styling cues are a good thing for an entry level Japanese econobox.

I hope Mitsubishi does well with this car. Lord knows the Eclipse didn't deliver on it's promise to save the company.
